Quick Transmigration: Sorry, I Never Loved You - Chapter 224
While Zhao Xinran began her immoral plans, Xu Jiaqi grew tired of waiting and tried her hardest to resist the urge to completely go ballistic and incinerate her enemies into ashes, even if it meant abusing her powers. However, restraining those feelings, she relented and ended up spending her days happily with Tang Yizhou, living to the brim and having all of her accommodation be taken care of without exception.
She just needed to sit there and say the words, and the man would deliver anything that she wished for. It was such a blissful experience that she found herself at a loss sometimes.
“Qiqi, what do you want to do today?”
“You,” Replying with a completely serious expression, Xu Jiaqi’s intentions was to joke around.
However, the man, after being stunned for half a second, begun to actually take her words into account and undress right before her. Revealing his perfectly toned body for her to ogle all over.
“…Okay, as much as I want to continue, I was just joking. Today, I have a meeting with a designer for my wedding dress. So.. there will be no treat for our precious President,” Xu Jiaqi teased, tugging on his clothes and putting it back on to normal.
Tang Yizhou widened his eyes. As promised when they first talked about it, the wedding preparations were indeed all left in the hands of Xu Jiaqi except for some technical matters that required the dealings of Tang Yizhou himself to get by.
As such, this was his first time hearing about something regarding the wedding dress. He instantly grew excited at the thought of Xu Jiaqi wearing a wedding dress and looking perfect as she should.
It must be an extremely endearing sight to witness.
“When is it? I’ll accompany you there.”
“No. It’s going to be a big surprise. If I let the groom see, it would be a disaster. The shock factor won’t be as prominent.”
“Ao. Even if I’ve seen you in the dress for thousands of times, I reckon the excitement will never fade!” Tang Yizhou expressed without shame.
“…Well, I’m not going to refute that claim, but still.. No. You’re not going to follow me to that place.”
Tang Yizhou sighed and gave up.
“You still haven’t answered my question. When is the meeting?”
“One hour from now. And on that note, the distance I need to travel for is quite far, so I need to get ready. In other words.. this is bye bye for now. See you, darling~” Xu Jiaqi blew a kiss over to the man as she got up and left, leaving the disappointed man behind scolding himself for asking those questions.
Unfortunately, that would also escalate to become the biggest regret of his life right after.
It didn’t take long until he received news that made him so unbelievably angered.

Xu Jiaqi woke up to a dark warehouse with no one in sight when she came into sense.
She had been heading to the designer’s location using her sports car. However, unbeknownst to the partner she left at home, she had a double mission for coming out under the premise of ‘getting a dress’.
She was trying to bait Yu Xuan, who recently had finally gotten his plans up and moving. He had been seeking for an opportunity after being manipulated by Zhao Xinran, but because Xu Jiaqi practically became a hermit under Tang Yizhou’s care, he never had a chance to actually put his plans into motion.
However, responding to this, Xu Jiaqi created the opportunity that he sought and deliberately exposed herself to the incoming danger.
She went off to a secluded area that didn’t have cameras stationed in the vicinity. Before long, she noticed that there was a black car with blurred plates following closely behind her trails.
That was her prey, the one she was trying to bait out. The men that Yu Xuan sent to ruin her, although the actual mastermind behind the move was Zhao Xinran.
She was obstructed in her path and allowed herself to be kidnapped into wherever they planned to take her to.
In the process, she was knocked unconscious by the injuries inflicted upon her.
‘Shit. I did think that the treatment would be bad, but to think that she’s willing to invest in all this.. Well.. No, Yu Xuan’s dedication to Zhao Xinran is the culprit.’
[Host!!! You’re too relaxed about all of this! Host, you were nearly killed! If not for the System’s emergency protection, you. would’ve. died!]
‘Well, I didn’t die, and that’s all that matters, right?’
[Absolutely not.. Haa, that aside, what do you plan to do in this situation, Host? Clearly this isn’t going to end that well.. While you were unconscious
‘I told you before.. The girl doesn’t have any chance of winning against me. Not to mention having your support, even if you weren’t here by my side, she still wouldn’t have won. Not in a million years’ chance.’
[..So tell me, what have you prepared for this incident?] The System saw how confident she was in instantly knew that everything was under her control and that she was definitely completely safe in this operation.
He still didn’t like how she was willing to take this heavy of a risk and endanger herself severely, though.
‘How long has it been since I was brought here?’
[About 6 hours. The men were really rough and hit your head multiple times as they brought you here. How crude!!]
‘If you think that this kind of criminals would have a speck of elegance, then you must be heavily drunk, System.’
Xu Jiaqi calculated inside her head. The thing she needed the most was proof that Zhao Xinran had done something terrible. If she played this right, then she could bring that vixen before her and capture her like a deer exposed to headlights.
She was tied up, but since Yu Xuan only hired mere crooks, the ropes weren’t exactly the most high quality ones out there. Through summoning the sword that she possessed from the rewards and making a small cut into the rope, she successfully broke the reins just enough so that a single pull would be enough to break out of the ties.
Now, it was time to wait for the main guest to arrive- Zhao Xinran.
As expected, after spending some time waiting in the dark, Zhao Xinran came to visit her with a haughty expression, and a gun gripped tightly in her hands.
“My, my. Just look at your state. How pitiful!” Zhao Xinran chuckled. “How are you, Qiqi? It’s me, the one you underestimated before. You must’ve thought that you already won the fight, but unfortunately.. That isn’t the case at all.”
Originally, the one to come and torture her shouldn’t be Zhao Xinran herself, but because the woman wanted to mock the other before her final destruction, she persuaded Yu Xuan to let her have a moment with Xu Jiaqi by herself without any other soul.
Zhao Xinran positioned the tip of the gun towards Xu Jiaqi’s chest and began ranting out in a deranged manner. She emphasized that there would be nobody coming to save her because this location was one that was specifically prepared by Yu Xuan for her kidnapping, and that there was no way that anybody would find her before she met her demise.
Of course, up until this point, she was still unaware about the external giant behind Xu Jiaqi that was the overprotective President Tang.
‘System, you said this has been going on for six hours, right? Where is Tang Yizhou right now?’
[Answering, the man is on his way over here. Host, you just need to lay low! You will be rescued soon, so please bear with this for a bit longer.]
The System didn’t think much of his Host’s question and thought that everything would end soon in a peaceful way, and Xu Jiaqi would come out unharmed.
‘Perfect.’
However, Xu Jiaqi didn’t think in the same way.
“It’s your fault. If only you didn’t get in my way, you wouldn’t have ended up here. If you just stayed in your lane and continued on your pathetic streaming farce of whatever that is.. You would’ve lived on.”
“But instead, you chose to hinder me! That phone call, it must’ve been made to mock me, right? Can you still mock me now? In that position?! Ha!”
“In the end, I came out to be the winner. You can’t even say anything, you’re so scared that you can’t talk.”
Xu Jiaqi paid no heed to her words and kept contacting the System asking him for how far Tang Yizhou was.
She waited, and waited, until the System finally said that Tang Yizhou was right beyond the door of the building she was held in.
[Host, Tang Yizhou is just a few metres away!!]
The System was excited and thought that this distressing incident would be over in no time.
‘Done.’ Xu Jiaqi smiled as she finished the countdown in her heart.
It was time.
“Unfortunately, what I want to do has already been achieved. Zhao Xinran, I know it might be difficult to accept, but it’s your loss. Suck it.” Xu Jiaqi whispered and stuck her tongue out as she ripped out the ropes that bound her, before placing her hands on the gun in a swift motion that couldn’t even be captured by Zhao Xinran’s eyes.
The sensible thing to do must be to knock the gun away, right?
Wrong.
She pulled the trigger by herself.
